Terms of Use

What this archive is

The archive contains court-reporter transcripts of Sarah Boone's October 2024 trial, with courtroom video from Court TV and Law&Crime Trials. It is an independent reference work and is not affiliated with a party, attorney, court or government agency involved in the case.

Accuracy and the official record

The HTML transcript and supporting summaries may contain errors. Some courtroom discussions were off the record, and video coverage has gaps. The About page describes the sources, coverage and limitations.

The official court record always governs. Nothing on this site is a certified transcript, and nothing here should be relied on as one. If a passage matters to you, verify it against the official record before you use it.

Not legal advice

Nothing on this site is legal advice, and using the archive creates no attorney-client relationship of any kind. If you have a legal question, consult a lawyer.

Charges, testimony, and findings

Charges, allegations, testimony, and argument are not findings of fact. A person charged with a crime is presumed innocent unless and until convicted in a court of law, and the archive presents the record on that basis.

Corrections and removal requests

Accuracy matters more here than volume, so corrections are genuinely welcome.

To report an error, use the report link on any page, or write to contact@courtdaemon.com. Please include the page address and enough of the passage to locate it. Verified errors are corrected.

To request removal, write to contact@courtdaemon.com and identify the specific material and the basis for the request. Every request is read and answered by a person.

Please understand the standard that is applied. The archive publishes material that is already part of the public court record, and it will not remove accurate public-record content simply because a person would prefer it were not findable. What will be acted on is material that is inaccurate, material that is under a sealing or expungement order or an equivalent legal restriction, and material that identifies a person in a way the court itself protected. Requests that fall outside those grounds may be declined, and the reason will be given.

Copyright and reuse

Court records are public documents. The selection, organization, correction, annotation, design, and code of this archive are the work of Trice Digital and are protected accordingly.

Citing, quoting, and linking to the archive is encouraged, including deep links to individual lines. Attribution to Sarah Boone Case Archive is appreciated. Crawling and indexing, by search engines and by AI systems alike, are permitted, and the archive is built to be quoted accurately. What is not permitted is republishing the archive wholesale as your own, or presenting its content in a way that misstates what the record says.

If you believe material here infringes your copyright, write to contact@courtdaemon.com with the material at issue, the work you claim is infringed, your contact information, and a statement of your good-faith belief.

Availability and liability

The archive is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. It may be incomplete, may contain errors, and may be unavailable at times. To the fullest extent the law allows, Trice Digital is not liable for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, this site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.
